a journey to wellness

Hi, I’m Tara Russell, founder of Nourished Heart.

Nourished Heart was born from my personal journey through chronic illness to healing. After struggling with an undiagnosed condition of Lyme disease and its co-infections, I discovered the power of herbal medicine and holistic wellness. With the help of an expert integrative medicine doctor, as well as plants, nutrition, and mindful practices such as yoga and meditation, I found a path to recovery that nourished not just my body but my spirit. 

Herbalism became my lifeline and passion. Through gardening, cooking, and crafting teas and herbal broths, I cultivated deep relationships with plants like hawthorn berry, calendula, nettle, red clover, and reishi mushroom- gentle yet powerful allies in my healing journey. Inspired by their transformative power, I trained as a Community and Apprentice Herbalist and began sharing these remedies with others.  I am on the path to become a Clinical Herbalist as well.  I am also still on the path to healing, which is a daily commitment and life changing. 

Today, I’m on a mission to bring the same healing energy to you. Every medicinal tea and herbal broth I create is infused with love, care, and the intention to support your health and well-being. Made in small batches with organic ingredients, these products are a reflection of my journey and hope to help others feel good in their mind, body, and spirit! 

From my heart to yours,

Tara
